Thai authorities have reminded all foreign tourists planning trips to the country that they will need to fill out a Thailand Digital Arrival Card at least three days before travelling, starting on April 28 for arrivals on May 1.
Anukool Pruksanusak, Deputy Spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Office, said the Immigration Bureau is launching a digital system for foreigners entering or exiting Thailand, called the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC).
All foreign travelers entering the country by land, sea, or air must register online via http://tdac.immigration.go.th, with an app version to be released in the future.
Required information includes travel documents, passport details, personal data, travel plans, accommodations in Thailand, and health status as specified by the Thai Ministry of Public Health.
Anukool emphasised that TDAC is not a visa, but rather an online arrival card system developed to streamline the entry process and comply with international standards.
The TDAC website supports five languages: English, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and Japanese./.
